Ad Astra
Jack Campbell (aka John Hemry)
“Lady Be Good” is one
of Campbell’s most popular stories, winner of Analog Magazine’s “AnLab”
reader poll for Best Short Story and cited in Gardner Dozois’ Year’s
Best SF. The Lady Be Good is an old ship, running obscure routes, not
all on the right side of the law, with her loyal first officer Kilcannon
and reclusive captain. When Kilcannon decides to rescue the survivors
of an attack on a Vestral Company ship, a mysterious new passenger
thanks him by asking difficult questions about the Lady, with unexpected
answers.
In “Kyrie Eleison,” the Verio shipwrecked centuries ago
on an out-of-the-way planet, and the descendants of the ship’s
survivors have gotten along as well as they can by following the orders
that were passed on to them. But those orders weren’t intended to govern
life on the planet’s surface, and when the Bellegrange arrives on a
rescue mission, her captain will have to reckon with the unexpected
social order on the planet.
In “Do No Harm”, a ship is so
technologically advanced that it can repair itself--but turning over the
keys might not be the best idea. And in “Down the Rabbit Hole,” a
series of failed attempts at faster-than-light travel lead to a novel
approach: sending an untested Naval captain out in a space ship to see
if he can figure out what’s gone wrong.
With eleven stories in
all, AD ASTRA is the most multi-faceted introduction to the short
fiction of Jack Campbell, and an essential complement to his bestselling
book-length work.
